Ruan Chen's hands are beautiful, white and slender, but with clearly defined joints, like bamboo with its own unique charm.
Under Fu Jianzhi's undisguised gaze, the fingertip curled slightly, but still obediently rested in the arm of the man beside her.
Professor Chen also came out, and upon seeing Fu Jianzhi, greeted him, "Young Mr. Fu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I met a very talented student, and I couldn't help but chat for a few more minutes..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Ruan Chen and Fu Chengyu standing together, their posture very close, slightly exceeding the boundaries of normal friendship.
“Brother, the ‘very talented student’ that Professor Chen mentioned is our Ruan Chen.” Fu Chengyu’s words clarified his relationship with the Fu Group and implied to Professor Chen that his relationship with Ruan Chen was extraordinary.
Professor Chen was initially taken aback, then nodded and introduced her to Fu Jianzhi, "This is indeed the female student. If Mr. Fu is ever investing in a laboratory within the group, you could consider having Ruan Chen join. As for this one, is he the eldest son of the Fu Group?"
“Yeah, brother, you can’t understand a single word of this forum, yet you still take time out of your busy schedule to join in the fun. You must be really tired,” Fu Jianzhi replied calmly to Fu Chengyu with an unchanged expression, then looked at Ruan Chen, “Our Ruan Chen has always been talented at everything she learns, right, sister?”
Fu Jianzhi called out that name again in a sticky, affectionate way, his eyes glued to Ruan Chen.
Professor Chen seemed to understand this dramatic tale of love and hate between brothers, yet he also seemed not to.
Ruan Chen's expression was indifferent. He withdrew his hand from Fu Chengyu's arm, turned to Professor Chen to say goodbye again, and then looked at Fu Chengyu, "There's no point in creating this kind of chance encounter. I don't want to get involved in your brothers' affairs. Come find me again after you've dealt with them."
Then he abandoned the two brothers.
Fu Chengyu looked somewhat embarrassed; Ruan Chen seemed to have misunderstood. She had just been throwing a tantrum, and Ruan Chen thought she had done it on purpose to embarrass Ruan Chen in front of Fu Jianzhi.
But that's not actually the case. Fu Chengyu wasn't qualified to participate in high-level decision-making, so he didn't know that Fu Jianzhi had arranged to meet Professor Chen, with whom he wanted to discuss cooperation, at the First Affiliated Hospital today.
However, meeting his younger brother was a pleasant surprise. Seeing him holding hands with his beloved girl in front of him made Fu Chengyu feel like he had turned the tables.
Fu Chengyu wanted to chase after Ruan Chen to explain, but Fu Jianzhi coldly pulled him back, "Brother, although your performance in the group over the years has disappointed the elders, if you want to practice on a few small projects, I can agree. But Professor Chen's project won't work; you have no experience."
Fu Jianzhi gestured for Professor Chen to leave with him, then took a few steps and looked at Fu Chengyu with pity, "Brother, let's not create any more chance encounters. Just like Ruan Chen said, it's pretty pointless. Ruan Chen is never good at refusing people, and only she would agree to let someone like you, who has a philosophy background, come to this kind of pure science and engineering forum."
He left after saying that, without giving Fu Chengyu a chance to explain.
Fu Chengyu's face turned pale with anger.
But he seemed to be a bit slow on the uptake, and dared not openly oppose Fu Jianzhi. After much deliberation, he actually started to resent Ruan Chen.
During this time, Ruan Chen got to know many renowned physics professors in China. She should naturally give him face in front of others, but how dare she embarrass herself in front of Professor Chen and Fu Jianzhi today?
-------------------------------------
After Ruan Chen discovered what happened that day, Fu Chengyu became noticeably less attentive to her.
However, Ruan Chen was too lazy to waste her energy on such an idiot, and even less inclined to try to figure out what Fu Chengyu was thinking.
However, Fu Chengyu was a little restless.
He met with Ruan Yunhan privately, and after obtaining Ruan Yunhan's tacit permission, he hired some online trolls to spread those unsavory rumors about Ruan Chen online, focusing on China's academic circles.
Strangely, no matter how many posts he hired online trolls to publish, they would all disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if the entire online world had a filter that would automatically remove all information related to Ruan Chen.
What alarmed Fu Chengyu even more was that gradually, the online trolls he had contacted would suddenly lose contact with him. One second they would be chatting happily, and the next second the account on the other end of the internet cable would suddenly turn gray, indicating that the user did not exist.
Only one person left him a message before closing the account: "That guy named Ruan Chen is not someone we rabble can mess with. Brother Fu, you either need to hire a professional team or give up."
In the past few days, Fu Chengyu occasionally ran into Fu Jianzhi at the company. Although the two did not mention anything related to Ruan Chen, Fu Chengyu always felt that Fu Jianzhi looked at him with pity, as if he knew everything and was watching a clown doing useless work.
Ruan Chen knew about these things, but she just found it boring.
That evening, Ruan Chen and a group of classmates walked out of the practical training classroom. She had never been a very sociable person and her performance in class was not outstanding, so she stood alone outside the crowd.
A loud bang suddenly rang out in mid-air, followed by gasps from the crowd. A group of students, exhausted from their heavy studies, stood still and looked up at the sky.
Someone is setting off fireworks, very dazzling and grand fireworks.
Voices broke out, tinged with envy: "Isn't it forbidden to set off fireworks near our school? The air quality must be terrible."
"He's got money, so he bought the license. That license is worth hundreds of thousands."
"These macaron-colored fireworks are really rare. They look so romantic. I bet it was set off by a boyfriend for his girlfriend?"
"I saw this series of fireworks in a magazine. It's a love confession series launched by the world's top fireworks company. It's so romantic."
Ruan Chen glanced up briefly, then walked towards the dormitory.
She disliked fireworks; she hated the emptiness that followed such grand and dazzling displays.
A giant lily of the valley burst open above her head, and countless colored lights suddenly lit up around Ruan Chen. Hundreds of roses rose on balloons that glowed in the darkness, surrounding and embracing her.
The exclamations grew louder, and some people had already taken out their phones to record Ruan Chen, who was surrounded by colorful lights and roses not far away. Above her was an endless sky, on which blooming flowers were displayed.
This is a confession of the century.
"Ruan Chen, I've been in love with you for a long time."
The man's gentle voice rang out, and Ruan Chen frowned in annoyance, her eyes full of impatience.
It's that ungrateful bastard Fu Chengyu who's such a nuisance.
